This book presents topics in module theory and ring theory: some, such as Goldie dimension and semiperfect rings are now considered classical and others more specialized, such as dual Goldie dimension, semilocal endomorphism rings, serial rings and modules.
This textbook is designed for a first course in ring theory, module theory and category theory. Whereas the first part of the book covers a basic course in ring and module theory, the latter part includes optional deepening topics.
